My How Our Babies Grow!
As we go about our lives in Cochabamba, we can't help but love on all the babies that are a part of our lives. It is so wonderful to watch them grow and mature, and my how fast they do so.
When we first arrived on the mission field in April, 1990, JD was 4 and Denice was 6. We have all gone through many changes, and so much has happened since then. There have been milestones and important events that have been crucial markers in our lives: when the kids started going to school, school plays and activities, sports events, baptisms, graduations, ACT, college, etc. The truth is they never stop! There will always be moments and events that make a mark in our lives, and which at the time remind us of how much we are...maturing!
Just a couple weeks ago we received a very important call from the U.S. This call again reminded us of how quickly our babies grow up. Daniel, Denice's boyfriend was on the other end, and after some uncomfortable "small talk" he asked us if he had our permission to take their relationship to a different level, and announced his intentions of wanting to marry Denice. of course, he counts with our blessing, and we tried to make sure that he understood how much we love and appreciate him.
The following night Daniel proposed to Denice, and of course she accepted! We are so happy for both of them, and pray that God will bless and use their relationship to help each other as well as many others grow closer to Him.
My, how our babies grow! Just a reminder of how quickly time passes and how much you can miss if we don't watch out.
Just a little bit of news for those of you who like to keep up with our family events! Please pray for Denice and Daniel as they make plans for their future. I am sure there will be more to report as time goes by. Thank all of you who play such an important part in our lives!
